The day will be filled with exciting learning stations for all ages, avionics demonstrations, guided bus tours of runways and taxiways, new aircraft for sale, flight instruction for credits in FAA WINGS Pilot Proficiency Program, great food (including a fly-in breakfast sponsored by the Civil Air Patrol and lunch from Nick Tahou’s Hots) as well as hundreds of door prizes and many more activities.
